All in Spiritual Dew

Schoolyard Bullies, and Waiting on the Lord

In these times of constant change, and intense spiritual warfare, it is easy to become disheartened, and if we aren’t courageous, and don’t trust enough to wait upon the Lord, we can become spiritually wounded. We see Satan’s minions taking control of governments, killing the innocent, and his warlords brutalizing entire countries, and we call out for Jesus to come now. Yet in all of this we must endure, persevere in our faith, and wait in absolute trust. In these times of our greatest earthly suffering, and despondence, we are told to lean on God, and wait in Him. Are we able to do so without fainting? Is God our strong tower?

Eternity in the Rain, and the Dew

When I was making a garden with my father-in-law, there were days when we would pray for rain, because we knew that if our plants went without it for any period of time they would wither and die. The ground needed a good drink to replenish itself, but our plants could sustain themselves between the rains if they received a heavy dew. This is true of our spiritual growth as well. We need regular rains to replenish the spiritual soil in which our souls grow strong, and thrive, but if we gather nightly dew we can sustain ourselves until the rains fall on us again... until the Holy Spirit falls full upon us and glorifies the Lord.
